Waittaminute... Let me get this straight : they had Escobar beat the US champion clean one week before he faces Rey to determine who's facing the US Champion for the belt ?

I wasn't expecting Dom to defend the belt so soon and on another show but that's great.

That last segment was great, the Bloodline split up yet keeps delivering.

I'd love to know how much of the usual audience was watching the football and how many are just clueless when it happens to move to a different channel.

Friday's episode of WWE SmackDown, which aired on FS1, averaged 1.23 million viewers. That's up 36.4 percent from the last time the show aired on that network in December of last year.

The episode was moved to FS1 due to Fox's coverage of the United States vs. Vietnam in the women's World Cup.

SmackDown drew a 0.36 rating in the 18-49 demo. That's up 44 percent from the December 2 episode when SmackDown last aired on FS1.

The declines from last week on Fox were 46.7 percent in overall viewers and 41.9 percent in 18-49. The last time the show aired on FS1, the declines were 58.4 percent overall and 53.7 percent in 18-49 from the previous week's Fox airing.

This was the highest viewership total and 18-49 demo rating of the nine SmackDown episodes that have ever been moved to FS1. The previous highs were 1.032 million viewers in October 2021 and a 0.30 demo rating in December 2020.

Listed below are the overall audience and 18-49 demo ratings for all FS1 airings of SmackDown to date:

Oh look.....when somethings an actual draw, the number of people watching goes up......not just say "we were number one that night" with less viewers than the last time you were in this situation......go figure.

That’s actually a surprisingly good number for FS1.

I was predicting 750-800k

Really shows how huge anything Bloodline related can be too, bc I don't think anyone was expecting major developments this week but a Roman smackdown is always gonna get that bump

FS1 also falls harder every year I'm pretty sure too, like if anyone is still trying to argue Roman isn't a draw you just disregard them lmao

Good number for SmackDown. I know it gets said a lot but it’s a good time to be a fan of both companies because both of them are firing on all cylinders entertainment wise.
